Community talks

• Wikipedia Takes Coventry / Partnership with the Herbet
  • Harry & Rockdrum
  • Erin Hollis, The Herbert, Coventry - our contact at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum?
    • I guess Harry or Rockdrum be best placed to make this contact? I like this suggestion as the Herbert is one of our success stories from 2012. It would be interesting to hear about how to go about establishing a cultural outreach etc. --ErrantX (talk) 12:13, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
      • Harry and I were considering giving a talk on Wikipedia Takes Coventry at this event - given that's the most recent (and most fruitful) event to have come out of the partnership (and perhaps giving one on the partnership as a whole at GLAM-WIKI in April). Erin might be interested in joining us... Rock drum (talk • contribs) 15:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
        • Awesome! I'm going to move this to a new "Community Talks" section on that basis. It would be great to have the three of you do a "community keynote" (i.e. extended talk) about this. --ErrantX (talk) 16:45, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
